109. Ah, the voice of reason! Did I really indicate they have run out of people to kill?
There are a lot more people they COULD kill, but won't have to, since they have found a way to get them off their land, bought or inherited, by scaring them off with threats like the death squads who approach the owner, suggest he give it to them for a laughable price, and, when he refuses, tells him they'll simply take it up with his widow. This subtle approach is often too time consuming and they jump right ahead into killing, or torturing him or his family enough to the point they join the vast number of displaced people in Colombia, never discussed in the U.S. but known all over the world as the SECOND LARGEST HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN THE WORLD, SECOND TO SUDAN.

They will be hard to kill as they are living in the wind, running until they learn their country has been returned to the people.

You should do less pro-right wing oligarchy support, and far more reading on Colombian history first, so you're actually speaking from an honest position.
